So miss tutorials. Really never understood the contour or bronzer thing. Thank you

[@taramisu9978]

Contouring, I simply cannot be bothered with it. Bronzer, blush and highlight I do like, as long as I apply lightly. Thank you for these application tips, very helpful.

[@joancraig-wood6136]

Girl, I have a five head 😂! Definitely throwing some contour, or bronzer up there.. I wore bangs my whole life just to cover my five head. I hit sixty, and said what the heck, let that bad boy shine. I do love the difference bronzer and blush can make, especially because I’ve gotten paler over time. Actually I just love makeup! It makes me happy. Thanks for the great videos, I really enjoy them. ❤

[@jessicalucas6021]

You have a great personality. Please keep the outtakes at the end. I always get a kick out of them. And of course, the makeup looks beautiful . ❤

[@user-oi9ye6hy8r]

Brilliant! A tutorial just focusing on cheek products, how and where to use. So appreciative of all tricks, tips, and overall tutorial. Informative, useful, brilliant tutorial!

[@trinajaynes]

This video was SUPER helpful and informative. Thank you so much! Also, I have to say that I absolutely love you outtakes, they always make me smile and it’s nice seeing I know you’re human and have a sense of humor 😂

[@paulameinzer9185]

Great video!! I especially liked “the Sandals” of videos!!😂

[@midlifemom5829]

Im 55yo w combo/oily tan skin. I dont contour but love the concept of all in one "brontour" and/or"blonzer"😊. So i have to find the right tone and shade

[@celestepiccolo6586]

You ARE aging well ❤❤

[@samuelšellei]

Literally the video I was looking for

[@christinajohnson2000]

Your makeup looks absolutely beautiful!

[@audreyso1201]

Hello Mandy, I don't like contouring but I love bronzing and blushing. Thank you for these tips

[@reneeburich9497]

I’m 65 and have always had high cheekbones and a stark jawline. When I was younger, I thought I looked too bony. Now, it’s probably helping to hold up my face! I don’t really need contour.

[@Cheeky63]

Beautiful job! 👏🏼

[@bcworth444]

I really got a lot out of this video - much needed and so useful. Thank you, Mandy!

[@Becky_in_Tucson]

Your "before" photo at the end looks just like Elizabeth Montgomery -- Samantha from Bewitched!!! Never noticed that before. Thanks for these tips.

[@renaijohnson8850]

She does! Both beautiful women.

[@EnvyBlu]

Wow I never noticed that until you mentioned it. She does!

[@lynettefinnigan9540]

I had thought that once before..only on certain angles.😂

[@paulamessimer1736]

Thank you so much. You answered a lot of questions.

[@user-lz5om7xk3f]

What a fantastic video! This is the BEST product info and tutorial of cheek application! I throughly enjoyed and appreciated this from you!

[@celestepiccolo6586]

I love the quick ‘n easy powder highlighter, blush, & bronzer ❤

[@perrenoudcaroline525]

So helpful thank you Mandy ✨️

[@bonniehouston4885]

Great video! Lots of good info. Thank you! And the bloopers always make me smile. ❤

[@MandyLeaBeauty]

Glad you enjoyed it!😁

[@DeeDee60skin]

I think you're gorgeous. Lol, and love your bloopers😂❤

[@honeysucklejean5526]

I love all of your videos, but this one was sooo helpful for me! Thank you!

[@dizzieblonde]

I love the before and after Mandy! These face products make a huge difference. I am 64 and definitely need the extra color and I love makeup.

[@Violiccious]

What a fantastic, super helpful, in-depth video! Thanks a lot!!! 🙏 You are really in love with that sponge 😅

[@MandyLeaBeauty]

Glad it was helpful!😁

[@niki20072]

Thank you for this video. It is very timely as I have really been trying to figure out the right way to wear bronzer and blush together. I love watching all your videos but I appreciate the detail in this one. I love understanding the reason for things. It actually makes me feel more free to experiment since I feel like I know the cause and effect of things and I'm not just slapping stuff on my face in a random way. 🙂

[@dleeflang2292]

Do you have a tutorial out for this eye look? I love it!!! …but your whole face looks stunning! I am so happy I came across your channel! Whenever I have a minute I try to catch up! Thank you so much for your amazing content❣️❤️❣️

[@dleeflang2292]

Went on a binge and found it! Beautiful!

[@dubsbeautydiary]

This was incredibly helpful. Nothing like how I do my makeup but maybe I should try!

[@katrinat.3032]

I’m so glad you said that about the sun. Because if I get sun now, right like I get these freckles or I don’t know, maybe some people call them sunspots they come out in the sun. But they go away after a day or two. So I just always wear my Alta, MD tinted sunscreen.

[@kcoburn126]

This was sooooo helpful!! Thank you!

[@JuneDaugherty34]

This information was so helpful for me personally. Thank you so much!

[@MonLis76]

Thanks for all the specific tips - a great vid! 🎉

[@tonyasullivan1164]

Sooo helpful

[@judylord1646]

Great video!

[@terripratt2666]

Great video, very informative. Thanks

[@lisaerickson9510]

If u want to add volume to ur face put lil concealer at ur temples i learned that trick from another youtuber n it really works on mature skin.

[@texaslover77]

Can you tell us about skincare routine please

[@maudeboucher4010]

Awesome video!!!

[@MandyLeaBeauty]

Thanks!!😊

[@lorenward3733]

I meant blush

[@lorenward3733]

I love blusj

[@jennifermolina4396]

You have a thin face, thin body... You're just thin! You look great overall. Love your hair and tutorials.

[@jbbb7418]

I have really REALLY gotten away from winter use of bronzer, as in I don’t use it at all in the winter. I feel as though in the winter when most of us are not getting sun hardly at all, and are at our fairest, bronzer looks weird, and that line between the bronzer on the forehead and the hairline, ugh, I can’t unsee it. Is it just me??

[@katrinat.3032]

Agreed. I just posted about I just think young people were too much make up. You see their make up not their face. I mean obviously not everybody. But the worse is the false eyelashes. They’re so obvious they don’t look right on most people.

[@EnvyBlu]

I agree about the hairline with bronzer, and makeup in general. 😳 I follow this one young girl on KZbin who wears SOOOO MUCH cream bronzer on her face lol and her skin is normally very pale lol and it looks soooo bad. I don’t dare say that to her of course, but wow. She doesn’t bronze her ears, nor her neck by her ears and side/back neck. I cannot believe nobody in her family, or none of her friends have politely mentioned it to her all these years. 😳😬🫢

[@taramisu9978]

I agree, I like bronzer but for me wearing it in the winter doesn't make a lot of sense. I will pull it back out soon but I just dust lightly on my face here and there anyway.

[@jennawoodard8386]

💕💄

[@katrinat.3032]

Mandy, your make up looks nice. However, I will say this, I think young people young women wear too much make up the first thing you think when you see them is your make up looks nice. It shouldn’t be like that. they should just look attractive you may know that they have makeup on, but they should just look attractive. But nowadays, my goodness, you could see everybody’s contour, highlighters, fake eyelashes, ombre eyebrows it’s insane.

[@taramisu9978]

Yes, I have always viewed makeup to "enhance" what you already have, not cover it all up.

[@curlyhairedhero2673]

Why do we buy make up we don't need? Cuz its pretty and we like it 😂

[@juliecassidy7353]

From what I can tell you do not have lines. That said the good news is the phase you’re in will eventually end and you’ll be officially in the “grandma” phase where lines are expected.

[@MKgoob710]

She uses a filter on her camera. She’s beautiful, and looks great, of course, but I do wish she would turn it off for a more accurate portrayal of how products look and apply.

[@juliahester1945]

This tutorial was amazing! Thank you so much Mandy. It was extremely helpful for me. I'm saving this one for future reference. 🩷

[@gailschaefer-guajardo6731]

Thanks for this information. It really helped me to understand the purpose of contour,bronzing and highlighter. I never used anything but blush when I was younger. Thank you so much 👍✔️💯❗
